Failure to do so could result in serious injury, property damage or loss of life.Operation of improperly installed and maintained venting system could result in serious injury, property damage or loss of life. State of Massachusetts: The installation must be done by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in 7Fae to follow these instructions will void the Commonwealth of arranty. Massachusetts. INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS Consult local building codes before beginning the installation.The installer must make sure to select the proper vent system for installation. Before installing vent kit,the installer must read this fireplace manual and vent kit instructions. Only a qualified installer/service person should install venting system.The installer must follow these safety rules: • Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection. • Use extreme caution when using ladders or when on rooftops. • Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and ceilings. The following actions will void the warranty on your fireplace: • Installation of any damaged venting component. ' r • Unauthorized modification of the venting system. • Installation of any component part not manufactured or approved by Spark Modern Fires Inc. • Installation other than permitted by these instructions. This fireplace must be vented to the outside. The venting system must NEVER be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance. Each gas appliance must use a separate vent system. Do not use common vent systems. 7Horizontal A Minimum of 3"Clearance to the Top Is sections of this vent system require Required Along Horizontal Length of Pipe until m clearance of 3" from the top of Flue Pipe Goes Through Nearest Wall. the pipe and 1" minimum to the sides and 1"Clearance Is Acceptable bottom.Vertical sections of this system require at the Outside Wall. a minimum of 1" clearance to combustible materials on all sides of the pipe. • I�oO Figure 7- Combustible Clearances for Vent Pipe 13 VENT INSTALLATION INSTALLATION PLANNING There are two basic types of direct-vent installation: • Horizontal Termination • Vertical Termination It is important to select the proper length of vent pipe for the type of termination you choose. It is also important to note the wall thickness.Venting terminals shall never be recessed into a wall or siding. FOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATION Select the amount of vertical rise desired.All horizontal run of venting must have t/4" rise for every 12" of run towards the termination. Never run the vent pipe level or downward. You may use up to three 90'elbows in this vent configuration. See This may cause excessive temperatures which Horizontal Termination Configurations on pages 19 and 20. could cause a fire- FOR VERTICAL TERMINATION Measure the distance from the fireplace floor to the ceiling.Add the ceiling thickness,the vertical rise in an attic or second story, and allow for sufficient vent height above the roof line. NOTE:You may use two 45°elbows in place of a 90'elbow. You must follow rise to run ratios when using 45'elbows. The appliance is approved for use with three 90'elbows maximum or a combination of 900 and 450 elbows up to a maximum of 270°. For two-story applications,firestops are required at each floor level.If an offset is needed in the attic,additional pipe and elbows will be required. You may use a chase with a vent termination with exposed pipe on the exterior of the house.See Installing Vent System in a Chase below.If pipe is enclosed in chase, it is not exposed. It is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust. Certain limitations apply to vent configurations and must be strictly followed. INSTALLING A VENT SYSTEM IN AN OUTSIDE CHASE A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose venting that runs along the outside of a building.A chase is required for such venting. Treatment of firestops and construction of the chase may vary from building type to building type. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. You must follow all local building codes. When installing in a chase,you should insulate the chase as you would the outside walls of your home. This is especially important in cold climates. Insulation should be considered a combustible material. Maintain proper clearances to all combustible materials. 14 VENT INSTALLATION ' FOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATION Inside Corner Detail D A / © E C — B B L B F6sd © CbNd F— o F ble gored rVI M Al -I jJ p -K A © Vent Terminal ®Air Supply Inlet Area Where Terminals Not Permitted Figure 8 -Horizontal Vent Termination Location MINIMUM DISTANCES A= Clearance above the grade,a veranda,porch,deck, or balcony[*12" (305mm) minimum].

Always maintain minimum clearances around vent systems. The minimum clearances to combustibles for horizontal vent pipe are 3" at the top and 1" at the sides and bottom of the vent system until the pipe penetrates the nearest vertical wall.A 1"minimum clearance all around the pipe must be maintained. Do not pack the open air spaces with insulation or other materials. This could cause high temperatures and may present a fire hazard. 15 VENT INSTALLATION TERMINATION CLEARANCES FOR BUILDINGS WITH COMBUSTIBLE AND NONCOMBUSTIBLE EXTERIORS . e --� D —�G�*— G=6"(152mm) rx —�F F=6"0 52mm) 1 E Inside Corner Outside Corner qV HC=Maximum depth of 48"(1219mm) for alcove location rigmn G D=Minimum width for back wall of alcove location I J Combustible-38"(965mm) j Noncombustible-24"(610mm) Combustible& E=Clearance from corner in alcove Noncombustible location G=Combustible 12"(305mm) H=12"(305mm) Combustible-6"(152mm) Noncombustible 12"(305mm) J = 20"(508mm) Noncombustible-2"(51mm) Balcony with No Side Wall Balcony with Perpendicular Alcove Location Side Wall Figure 9-Allowable Venting Chart < m HOW TO USE THE VENT GRAPH so 48 p The Vent Graph should be read in conjunction with the following 46 vent installation instructions to determine the relationship between 42 (D the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the vent system. 40 38 0 1.

When vent termination exits through foundations less than 20" below siding outcrop,the vent pipe must flush up with the sid- ing. It is best to locate the fireplace in such a way that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length. The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace (or the top of the Transition Elbow)to the face of the outer wall. FOR STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires the installation and USE of Carbon Monoxide detectors in the rooms of ALL direct vent units which utilize a SIDE WALL VENTING TERMINATION The maximum number of 90'elbows per side wall installation is three(3),the maximum horizontal run is 20" (Figures 18, 19). 3 x 90' Elbows 20" Max 20" Max.

It allows installation depth down to 7" (178mm)below grade level.The 7" 0 78mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall. Ensure that sidewall venting clearances are observed.If venting system is installed below ground,we recommend a window well with adequate and proper drainage to be installed around the termination area. If installing a snorkel,a minimum 24"vertical rise is necessary.The maximum horizontal run with the 24"vertical pipe is 36". This measurement is taken from the collar of the fireplace (or transition elbow) to the face of the exterior wall.See the Sidewall Venting Graph for extended horizontal run if the vertical exceeds 24". 1. Establish vent hole through the wall.See Figure 12,page 17. 2. Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16" below base of snorkel. Install drain pipe. Install window well (not supplied). Refill hole with 12"of coarse gravel leaving a clearance of approximately 4" below snorkel.See Figure 21. 3. Install vent system. 4. Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent pipe coming through the wall. 5. Apply high temperature sealant caulking(supplied) around the 4" and 7" snorkel collars. 6. Slide the snorkel into the vent pipes and secure to the wall. 7. Level the soil so as to maintain a 4" clearance below snorkel. See Figure 23.

Connect a section of pipe and extend up through the hole. NOTE: If an offset is needed to avoid obstructions, you must support the vent pipe every three (3) feet. Use wall straps for this purpose. See Figure 25, page 22. Whenever possible, use 45°elbows instead of 900 elbows. The 450 .elbow offers less restriction to the flow of the flue gases and intake air. 5. Place the flashing over the pipe section(s)extending through the roof.Secure the base of the flashing to the roof and framing with roofing nails.Be sure roofing material overlaps the top edge of the flashing.There must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials. 6. Continue to add pipe sections until the height of the vent cap meets the minimum building code requirements. NOTE: You must increase vent height for steep roof pitches. Nearby trees,adjoining roof lines,steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors may cause poor draft or down-drafting in high winds.Increasing the vent height may solve this problem. NOTE:If the vent pipe passes through any occupied areas above the first floor,including storage spaces and closets, you must enclose pipe. You may frame and sheetrock the enclosure with standard construction material. Make sure to meet the minimum allowable clearances to combustibles. Do not fill any of the required clearance spaces with insulation.

If you have conflicting gas type,do not install fireplace.See dealer where you purchased the fireplace for proper fireplace for your gas type or conversion kit. INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE / BURNER SYSTEM LOCATION 2M A qualified installer or service person must connect appliance to gas supply. Follow all local codes. 73103 For propane/LP units, never connect fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This burner system requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the burner system and propane/LP supply. INSTALLATION ITEMS NEEDED Before installing fireplace and burner system, make sure you have the items listed below. • External regulator(supplied by installer) • Piping(check local codes) • Sealant(resistant to propane/LP gas) • Equipment shutoff valve* • Test gauge connection* • Sediment trap(recommended) • Tee joint Pipe wrench • approved flexible gas line with gas connector(if allowed by local codes—not provided) * A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff:valve with 1/8"NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer. For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply an external regulator.The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure.You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 13 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure,burner system regulator damage could occur.Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 32. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet. External 100 lb. (min) Regulator Propane/LP Use only new black iron or steel pipe. Internally Supply Tank tinned cop per or copper tubing can be used per National Fuel Code, section 2.6.3, providing gas ® meets hydrogen sulfide limits,and where permitted 3313 by local codes. Gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure (listed on data plate) at the maximum flow rate (BTU/hr). Undue pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small. Vent Pointing Down When using copper or flex connectors use only fittings approved oa oo for gas connections.The gas control inlet is 3/8" NPT. o po � O Figure 32 - External Regulator with Vent Pointing Down (Propane/LP Only) _. _ 25 INSTALLATIONFIREPLACE ' I 7this rsons licensed to work with gas piping A manual shutoff valve must be installed upstream ake the necessary gas connections to of the appliance.
